This continues the trend of Brendan being in charge of everything at our club. This would have dragged out a few years back

Magic.

It's a disgrace he wasn't offered a new contract immediately after he took the beach ball off his head.

One player who has committed his future to Celtic is Mikael Lustig. The 30-year-old signed a two-year extension to his deal this week with Rodgers pleased to keep the right-back.

"I came in here and everyone talked about him being injury prone and what not,” he said. "He has virtually trained every day and has played in most of our games. He is a real leader in the dressing-room.

"I sat and spoke to him a few months back and told him I wanted him to stay. Mika is very much part of what we are doing here. He is a multi-functional player. He can play right-back and centre-half, and is a top international player. I am delighted he is staying.”

I mind a few years ago, might have been Ronny's first season, Guy behind me banged on for a good 10 minutes about how he was never off the injury table, getting bright red spitting venom, get worse and worse, for his wee boy to pipe up at the cusp of his rage with, "Da, he's missed like 3 games in 18 months" I've never heard a back of the head slap like it :lol: :lol:

BY agreeing to extend his contract at Celtic by a further two years, Mikael Lustig delivered a message that went far beyond his own personal circumstances. The Swede has been a reliable, steady presence on the right side of Celtic’s defence since moving from Rosenborg in January 2012, a player team-mates and managers, including current incumbent Brendan Rodgers, know they can hang their hat on. With his family settled in Scotland it was not a surprise that Lustig wanted to stay at Celtic, and, similarly, that the club were keen to hold on to him.

More enlightening, however, were the 30-year-old’s reasons for not choosing to seek greater financial rewards elsewhere, having admitted to checking out his alternative options in the unlikely event the club hadn’t put a new contract on the table for him to sign.

Lustig witnesses the progress being made under Rodgers and feels it will only continue in such a positive manner in the years ahead. He sees a squad capable of making the latter stages of the Champions League once again, and believes the financial might of the club means there will be little need to cash in on their star assets as has often happened in the past.

“My main goal was always to stay anyway but you like to have that feeling when you’re going to training every day that the club is getting better and better,” he said. “That’s how it feels now.

“For the first time in a couple of years it feels like we are going for something big. It feels like we are going to get better every year. We have the feeling that we don’t need to sell the best players. We also have a feeling that we want to be in the Champions League, but not just be happy to be in it.

“We want to develop there so that in a few years we can become a good Champions League team that can get past the group stages. It’s a long road but it feels like we’ve made a good start. I knew Celtic was all about winning before I came here. And so far, so good! But we just take it a season at a time and hopefully we can continue to meet our goals.”

Like many foreigners who arrive in Scottish football, Lustig perhaps viewed Celtic as a stepping stone to the promise land of the English Premier League. Having been at the club for five years, however, his viewpoint has altered.

“I can understand why some people maybe said that [about it being a stepping stone to England],” he said. “Before you come here and you don’t know what Celtic is all about then it’s easy to say that you want to just stay for one or two seasons then go to the Premier League. In my opinion Celtic is a massive club and it’s really hard to get that somewhere else. The money is obviously better down south but it’s hard to find that many clubs in England that are bigger than Celtic.”

He could yet finish his career in Scotland, although he does not envisage the end zooming into focus for some time yet. “Of course, but I am still just 30, so hopefully I have a few years left in me. You never how your body is going to react but the last two seasons have been really good so hopefully I am going to have the opportunity to sign another contract as well after this one.”

No mention of why he was subbed from anything I've seen or heard. Frustrating that no journalist thought to ask that question

I just assumed we wanted to test Jozo's knee on an artificial pitch since we've deliberately kept him away from them and this was the perfect opportunity since they didnt really offer much when they had the ball.

It was probably that BrianDamage guy from Twitter. I had the same argument with him before.

Lustig told the back room staff he wasn't happy with something going down the tunnel at half time.
